 You did get a warning.  It comes in the form of signs posted in the 
 parking lot.  You chose to ignore it.

 Alcohol makes people behave irresponsibly.  I've been saying from the 
 very beginning that you should accept responsibility for your actions. 
  
 What's your excuse?

 I protest too much?  I didn't start a thread based on my own 
 wrongdoings and how I blame others for my mistakes.  I never got 
 overdramatic and wrote: 
  
 "I WILL be compensated for it - or the perpetrator will pay the 
 price." 
  
 or 
  
 "Believe what you will, but I will either get fair compensation 
 or cause CVS a loss far greater than my own. That I swear!" 
  
 I've received parking tickets in the past.  When I did wrong, I paid 
 for them, not whined on and on about it. 
  
 You should act like an adult, too.
